[Pinyin: biē] Turtle, also known as turtle or round fish, is an oviparous amphibious reptile. Its head is like a tortoise, but its carapace does not have stripes like a tortoise. Its edges are soft and skirt-like, and its color is dark green. Turtle often lives in the mud and sand at the bottom of the water. It likes to eat small animals such as fish and shrimp, as well as melon peels, fruit scraps, grass, and grains. Turtle meat is delicious. Every 100 grams of meat contains 16.5 grams of protein, 10 grams of fat, and calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc. It has high nutritional value and is a nutritious treasure.

The turtle is a cold-blooded animal that lives both on land and in water and breathes with lungs. It mainly lives in lakes, ponds, reservoirs, bays and slow-flowing rivers.

The living habits of turtles can be summarized as "three likes and three fears", that is, they like quietness and fear being startled, they like the sun and fear the wind, and they like cleanliness and fear dirt. Turtles react sensitively to the sounds of the surrounding environment. As long as there is a slight movement around them, they can quickly dive into the mud at the bottom of the water. In the natural environment, turtles like to live in rivers, lakes, reservoirs, ponds and other waters with clean water. On calm days, they often lie on the sunny shore to bask in the sun (commonly known as basking in the sun), using the ultraviolet rays in the sun to kill pathogenic bacteria on the body surface, promote the healing of injured body surfaces, and increase body temperature by basking in the sun to promote food digestion.

Turtles mainly breathe with their lungs, but when the water temperature drops below 15°C, they dive into the mud at the bottom of the pond and begin hibernation, breathing with auxiliary respiratory organs such as the gill-like tissue in the throat.

Turtles are ferocious and aggressive by nature. Bullying the weak is common among groups, and they will cannibalize their own kind when food is scarce.

The turtle has the habit of hibernation. In the Hangzhou-Jiaxing-Huzhou area, the hibernation period is from mid-November to mid-April of the following year.

The turtle is an omnivorous animal that mainly feeds on meat. Its main food is small fish, shrimp, tadpoles, snails, clams, and aquatic insects.

Turtles are both voracious and tolerant of hunger. They will not die even if they do not eat for a long time after a meal. Of course, they rely on their own stored nutrients to maintain their life activities. When they are artificially bred, they must be provided with sufficient food to accelerate their growth. Turtles eat earthworms, animal viscera, etc., and also eat vegetables, grass, fruits, etc. When food is insufficient, they can cannibalize each other and also eat animal carcasses.
